It is usually a batched sample obtained from persons who have been relocated away from contaminated atolls. The contribution of sr to urine from the diet to blood to bladder_pathway is eliminated. Thus, the 904, passed to urine is contributed only from Sone at the rate of .05% of the bone burden per day. For
